Being a female founder of a small business, my instagram feed is filled with other female entrepreneurs, which is super inspirational!  But this topic, these titles, I simply do not love.  So here we are, it’s time for semi- annual blog post, coming at you with all the realness in the world.

This post is a behind the curtain peak at the real costs to small businesses for running Black Friday sales.  Yes we do it - it's built into retail culture, and sales are fun!  But we dive into the numbers, costs, and margins, and some funny comments from customers too.  Give it a read.  Just remember, I love my shop, I love my community, I love my customers :) but this one's just a little bit spicy!

Oh entrepreneurship - why do you through so many curve balls at me!  And why did I even think I would be naturally good at a job I had NEVER DONE IN MY LIFE?!  Here’s my super honest recount of entrepreneurship so far.
